Honoring the Life and Legacy of Mr. Keith Ray

We met Keith Ray in September of 2023, and he quickly became an integral part of Cornerstone Youth Services Inc. Keith was our very first member, a testament to his courage and his mother Shanaka Booker's faith in our mission. From the moment they took a chance on us, a lifelong friendship blossomed, one that would deeply impact everyone involved.

​

Keith embodied the true spirit of Cornerstone Youth Services. His kindness, selflessness, and unwavering hope were evident in everything he did. Jazzmin and I were fortunate to witness a profound moment where Keith spoke words of encouragement and positivity, not only to himself but also to another teenager.

 

This act of unselfishness and hope nearly brought us to tears. It was a powerful reminder of the impact one individual can have on others.

Keith's legacy lives on through the values and vision of Cornerstone Youth Services. His spirit continues to inspire us to build a better future for all the youth we serve.

 

We are deeply grateful for Keith's contributions and the light he brought into our lives.

To Keith Ray and his mother, Ms. Shanaka Booker, we extend our heartfelt thanks. Your bravery and trust have shaped our community in ways words cannot fully capture.

 

Keith's memory will forever be a cornerstone of our mission and values.
